one of the goals of alzheimers researchers besides the main one of finding a treatment or cure of this disease is to be able to identify folks with alzheimers early in the disease or even before symptoms start
if you can get to folks before symptoms start or before damage has been done
then you have a better chance of slowing or stopping the disease
once the damage is done
its done
its not repaired
thats why you see so many drugs fail
they are started too late
they cant fix whats already been broken
its like a vase dropped from a roof onto a sidewalk
its smashed to thousands of pieces that cant be put back together
so it is with an alzheimers brain
so if i really have alzheimers disease then its being going on for at least 15-20 years
it just hasnt taken over enough brain cells yet to make me have noticeable symptoms
that damage cant ever be repaired even if they find a treatment or cure
so thats why early detection then treatment even if there is no symptoms is so important
ive read for the last 8 years since i was diagnosed
that an early blood test to tell you if you have alzheimers is almost here
they seem to say that each year
its not here yet
now
enter bill gates
one of the richest men in the world
who has given lots of his money away for good causes
basically he got his money off us all who bought his products and now he is giving it to more needy folks
he recently donated well over 100 million just for alzheimers research
now
he has donated 30 million just to find an affordable test like a blood test for early detection of this awful disease
here is his statement
“Imagine a world where diagnosing Alzheimer’s disease is as simple as getting your blood tested during your annual physical.”
well i can imagine it
this money was put into a venture fund
he calls it diagnostic accelerator
we the federal government should be doing this by spending our money for a disease that is programmed to totally break our healthcare system in the near future
it will cost us billions of dollars
thanks bill
for doing what our federal government wont do for us
he is the definition of a philanthropist
on another note
biogen will be presenting data form the aducanumab study that i am in and one similar to it on sunday at a large alzheimers conference
expect to see news reports on their findings
expected approval for use by the fda if its approved will be 2020 or 2021
please hurry since i am scheduled to come off the aducanumab study in spring 2020
i dont want to lose anything ive gained
this aducanumab will not be a cure for alzheimers
it will be a treatment that will slow it down
